7.1.2 Target Audience
Gibsonville residents, school children, local businesses (including gas station
owners) and industry, will be targeted because these groups have the most
impact on stormwater pollution prevention..
7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources
The education program will target total suspended solids because turbidity and
sedimentation are the pollutants of concern in impaired downstream waters. In
addition, floatables, trash, and debris will also be targeted. The education
program will also address the prgper use and disposal of typical household
chemicals, garden chemicals, and used motor oil.
7.1.4 Outreach Program
School programs, printed materials to be distributed via mail and public events,
public television and radio, and participation in state cleanup programs will be
used to reach the target audience. By using these methods, the education
program will be expected to reach all residents of Gibsonville, as well as those
that do business here, over the course of the five-year permit period.
As a result of this outreach program, the target audience will be informed of the
importance of reducing storm water pollution, and ways they can incorporate
pollution reduction in their daily lives.
7.1.5 Decision Process
The formation of the storm water public education and outreach program was
based on the mechanisms currently in place, and their means and effectiveness
of communicating and educating the public about the issues of stormwater
pollution prevention. Each of the eight BMP's selected were judged to be an
effective and economical tool for educating the general public and/or specific
groups within the community, with a specific measurable goal with which to
gauge its effectiveness_
7.1.6 Evaluation
The education and outreach program will be evaluated based on how each
individual BMP is meeting its measurable goal at the end of each reporting
period. Changes will be considered for any BMPs that are not meeting the
measurable goals.

COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT
TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE
7.3.2 Storm Sewer System Map
Storm sewer system will be mapped and field verified during the course of
normal maintenance operations by the public service department. The route of
the system, locations of pipes, drainage ditches, and outfalls will be added to the
Town's GIS database. Approximately 25% of the MS4 will be mapped each
year. The map will be updated as needed during subsequent maintenance
operations.
7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism
Amend the existing stormwater ordinance to include illicit detection, right of entry,
and prohibition of certain non-stormwater discharges.
7.3.4 Enforcement:
There will be provisions in the amended ordinance for enforcement actions and
penalties for dumping, spills, and willful illicit connection.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination
After the field screening is complete, the Town will take measures to identify and
remove illegal discharges. Identifying illegal discharges may require a
combination of office and field work. After the field screening, staff will consult the
jurisdiction -wide information they have compiled to obtain information about the
land uses, infrastructure, industries, potential sources and types of pollution that
may exist in the drainage area of the outfall.
After priority areas have been identified in the office, a systematic field
investigation will be planned that minimizes the amount of resources required to
identify the source. The following field methods may be used to identify and
trace the source of illegal discharges:
• Site Investigation
• Dry weather flow observations
Smoke Testing/Dye Testing
• Television Inspection
The right of entry established in the amended ordinance will provide access for
inspection if the origin of the discharge is in doubt. Once an illegal discharge is
located and confirmed through field screening, staff will notify the responsible
party verbally if possible and follow-up with written notification. If the responsible
party does not comply with the removal schedule provided by the Town, or
receive approval for a revised schedule, the Town will take enforcement action
and the connection will be removed at the responsible party's expense.

TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE
7.3.6 Non Stormwater Discharges
Currently there are no Known non-stormwater discharges that are a significant
contributor to the MS4. If any are identified in the future, they will be addressed
at that time.
7.3.7 Outreach
Town employees will be informed of the hazards associated with illegal
discharges and improper disposal of waste as part of their general training
requirements. These will be addressed in the Pollution Prevention/Good
Housekeeping section of this plan, and will include training in hazardous material
handling and disposal, as well as notices and signs posted in the appropriate
areas.
The general public will be educated through the BMP's listed in the Public
Education section of this plan. These educational BMP's will include brochures,
public service announcements, and business education and outreach programs.
7.3.8 Decision Process
The formation of the storm water Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
program was based primarily on regulatory mechanisms. The regulatory,
educational, procedural BMP's selected were judged to be an effective means of
detecting and eliminating illicit discharges.
7.3.9 , Evaluation
The effectiveness of the program will be gauged by the total number of illicit
connections detected and removed each year. If the total number remains
constant, or increases, changes will be made to the public education program
and/or the Town ordinance to allow for greater enforcement and penalties
7.4 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORMWATER RUNOFF CONTROL
The Town of Gibsonville will rely on the North Carolina State Erosion and Sediment
Control Program and the Department of Water Quality's general stormwater permit
program for construction activities to meet the construction 'site stormwater runoff
control requirement.
7.5 POST -CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN NEW DEVELOPMENT AND
REDEVELOPMENT
7.5.1 Stormwater Management Options

7.5.4 Structural BMPs
Standards and policies will be developed that ensure structural BMPs will be in
conformance with the state's Stormwater Management Design Manual.
7.5.5 Regulatory Mechanism
In the first year, the Town will assess existing ordinances, policies, programs and
studies that address storm water runoff quality. In addition to assessing these
existing documents and programs, the Town will provide opportunities to the
public to participate in the development of the program. The existing land usage
ordinance will then be amended to include a post -construction stormwater runoff
management program for new development and redevelopment.
7.5.6 Operation and Maintenance
The existing land usage ordinance will be amended to address the long-term
operation and maintenance of post -construction controls. The amended
ordinance will include guidelines for delegating routine and non -routine
maintenance responsibilities to ensure access for inspections, and providing a
mechanism for enforcement.
7.5.7 Decision Process
The post construction stormwater management program shall ensure that
controls are in place that will prevent or minimize water quality impacts from new
development and redevelopment projects. These controls should include an
amended ordinance to address post -construction runoff control from new
development and redevelopment projects and ensure adequate long-term
operation and maintenance of BMPs.
7.5.8 Evaluation
The post construction site management for new and re -development activities
program will be evaluated based on how each individual BMP is meeting its
measurable goal at the end of each reporting period. Changes will be
considered for any BMPs that are not meeting the measurable goals.

7.6.2 Affected Operations
The Town of Gibsonville operates a vehicle and equipment maintenance facility
and a municipal building that serves as a town hall and police station.
Operations at the maintenance facility include vehicle washing, public water
treatment, a garbage transfer area, mist. chemical storage, a refueling area, and
yard waste/mulch area. No vehicle or equipment repair or maintenance
operations take place at this facility.
7.6.3 Training
Training materials will be developed on pollution prevention for public facilities,
using similar materials as will be used in the public outreach program. All
employees will be educated annually on the need for controls to protect
stormwater from exposure to potential pollutants. This training will also serve as
the training requirement for public employees as specified in the outreach
component of the Illicit Discharge section of this program.
All public employees involved in vehicle, open space, or building maintenance
operations will be provided training in BMPs, processes and materials they are
working with, safety hazards, practices for preventing discharges, and
procedures for responding quickly and properly to toxic and hazardous material
incidents. This training will be in conjunction with the training requirements of the
future Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures plan.
All public employees involved in stormwater drainage system maintenance will
be specifically trained in the disposal of floatables, grit, sediment, and other
pollutants removed from the system. Additional training, or certification, will be
provided to employees that manage and apply chemicals for control of dust,
pests, vermin, and weeds and/or to enhance the ,growth or condition of public
urban landscape and recreation facilities. Training will target the safe and
effective application, storage and disposal of chemicals used.
7.6.4 Maintenance and Inspections
A preventive maintenance program will be developed that will include routine
inspections of catch basins, storm water detention areas, and roof downspouts at
the municipal building. A similar program will be implemented for vehicles,
equipment, and material storage areas in the maintenance yard. Inspections will
ensure all equipment and material storage containers are in good condition. Any
problems or issues that may have an impact on stormwater quality will be noted
and corrective action - taken. Vehicle washing and fueling operations will be
inspected annually to ensure that they are in good working order and that they
minimize exposure of stormwater to chemicals, fuels, and other liquids.
Schedules and procedures will be established for the inspections, and an record -
keeping system will be implemented to schedule and document inspections.
Page 26
COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT
TOWN OF GIBSONVILLE
7.6.5 Vehicular Operations
Good housekeeping BMPs and controls will be implemented over the five-year
permit period to reduce or eliminate the discharge of pollutants in stormwater
from the maintenance facility. The vehicle washing operation will be modified to
properly treat and/or dispose of the wash wastewater.
The garbage transfer area will be evaluated to reduce exposure to stormwater.
All unnecessary chemicals, oils, solvents, etc. will be properly disposed of and a
current chemical inventory will be developed and maintained. Spill protection in
the chemical storage areas will be addressed and all stockpiled soil,
asphalticoncrete, and scrap metal will also be properly disposed of. Any
unnecessary or unused equipment will be stored in covered areas, or removed
from the maintenance yard.
The maintenance yard has a 3000 gallon refueling station for vehicles and
equipment, and is therefore required to develop a Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasures {SPCA plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112.7. The resulting
plan will provide information and procedures for the storage and handling of any
petroleum products stored onsite. The vehicle and equipment refueling area will
also be modified to minimize the potential for spills that occur during the fuel
transfer process to impact to stormwater runoff.
An area within the facility will be

consists of two garbage trucks. A trash collection service is also maintained for
items such as old furniture, appliances, etc., which are collected and deposited in
a contracted, roll -off dumpster at the maintenance facility. Collected metal items
are temporarily stored on -site until removed by a metal recycler. Household
recyclables collection is contracted out to a private company. Yard waste is
collected by the Town and composted in a separate area at the maintenance
facility.
7.6.7 Flood Management Projects
Future flood management projects will be reviewed from a water quality
standpoint.

Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program
Deleno Flynn:
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program was promulgated under the
Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to
address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally
serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten
categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is
the next step in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted storm water
runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase II is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of stormwater discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
We are writing to you to remind you that the Town of Gibsonville has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area in both the 1990 and 2000 decennial census. As a regulated community, you are required to
develop a stormwater management program and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small
MS4 or file a certification that the 7bwn of Gibsonville does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for
submitting your application package or non -ownership certification is March 10, 2003. Application and certification
documents, as well as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web
site. Our web address is http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.htm1. You may also contact us for hard copies of the
documents. if you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me (919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren
